OK, this is really old, but I have Queen's "Fat Bottomed Girls". I used to have a spin instructor who played it, and I would think of my bottom, and move. The tempo is slower, so I like it during my warm up on the elliptical.
You should check out Lady Gaga. She is CRAZY, but her music is fun to work out to. I have "Poker Face" on a couple of my training playlists. I also find that Britney is pretty good for working out, though she's not my favorite in terms of actual listening. "Womanizer" leaps to mind. My personal favorite 'pump it up' song is Bif Naked's "I Love Myself Today". It's pretty old, but it's an empowerment song with a great beat that totally gets me moving.
I TOTALLY agree with this- Lady Gaga is one of my Favs to work out to! I also love the Black Eyed Peas and Falloutboy. They are also good to get the heart rate up!
My favourite to work out to is Latin stuff. Shakira (Hips Don't Lie Bamboo Remix esp. Even DH loves that one), Daddy Yankee, Ricky Martin, Los Hermanos Rosario, Pitbull...so much fun. I also like Britney and Kylie Minogue.
Oh, and I have to agree with the Benny Benassi and Daft Punk suggestions. I really don't like Lady Gaga; looks like I'm the only one! I get annoyed when one of her songs pops up on my playlist.

My workout playlist has all sorts of music and genres. Stuff from the 60's all the way to contemporary groups. I've even got classical songs like "Ave Maria" for my yoga stretches and cool down exercises. The one song that does motivate me the most is "Till I Collapse" from Eminem. The beginning of the song gives me that little extra something to push through and carry on.
'Cause sometimes you feel tired,
feel weak, and when you feel weak, you feel like you wanna just give up.
But you gotta search within you, you gotta find that inner strength
and just pull that sh*t out of you and get that motivation to not give up
and not be a quitter, no matter how bad you wanna just fall flat on your face and collapse.
I love so many that have been listed. A couple of recent additions to my play list are Tik Tok by Kesha and Imperfect is the New Perfect by Caitlin Crosby
Saef, I have most of your other picks on my workout mixes too. We have excellent taste!

Ha! I have Sexyback on my cardio mix. Guilty pleasure. I don't feel guilty about Feel Good Inc., though. That song just flat-out rocks, and it's got a great beat for a nice, easy run.
I have one running mix that features Drowning Pool, Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson and the like. It's great for when I'm stressed and really want to run hard, but I can't use it when it's dark out or I freak myself out. So sad, I know. But running outside in the dark is kind of scary!

Sometimes when I walk I listen to Gospel or Love Songs. It's easier for me to go the distance when I'm walking more than two miles.
Oh, here, just let me go ahead and show my age.... my favorite get up 'n go song is 'You Wreck Me' by Tom Petty. Srsly, give it a listen, you young chicks!!
Traci - I would recommend all of the songs os the Skinny Songs CD I saw it on the Martha Stuart show a couple of years ago. You can either purchase the whole CD or it also has so you can dowmnload them. On the Skinnysongs.com web site you can listen to all of them (the whole song not just a portion) they are hillarious and upbeat music also definately think everyone should at least go listen to them even if you don't end up wanting to buy them you will at least get a few laughs. My favorites are "Skinny Jeans", "Objects in the Mirror", and "The amazing shrinking woman"
